Not your usual blog. A series of short, pithy comments on the world from an objective (not Objectivist) view usually without the usual links to other sources. I'll include links when I can. This blog was originally on Word Press/Blogivists, but it disappeared suddenly so I moved it here. It has come back there, but it's too late.

About Me

The New THOMA$ REPORT, which I had published since the turn of the century, is no more. Town Hall deleted ALL their "citizen blogs" so this is "it." Bull Cutter will be my premier blog until Blogger does the same.

Trusting Obama on the Economy

It’s funny that 52% of Americans in one survey trust Obama to improve the economy, while everything he does makes it worse. Is it because they just don’t pay attention? Like the woman who told me she likes Obama and doesn’t want to hear a word against him? Anybody who IS paying attention knows if Obama is allowed to continue, he’s going to bankrupt this nation. Unfortunately, too many of us aren’t.

LAWMAKING BY TREATY: The government cannot “make law” by signing a treaty with another country and having it ratified by Congress if to do so they violate the Constitution. Our current leaders don’t agree. They think they can sign the “climate treaty” without regard to the Constitution, and they’re wrong. But they’ll do it anyway, Constitution be damned. They’ve got the power and they think we can’t do anything about it. They’re wrong about that, too. We can throw them out of office.

LIBERALS HATE HOME SCHOOLING: Mostly because they can’t control what home schooled children are being taught. They say they’re “concerned” about the “quality of education,” and they are. But their idea of “quality of education” and ours is quite different. To them, “quality of education" to them means teaching them to be proper collectivists (socialists, fascists, communists).

DOING THE JOB: Ignorant television interviewers glibly ask Sarah Palin if she believes she could do the job of the president, as if there was any doubt. She is a lot more capable than that socialist now in office. What an arrogant question to ask her!

THEY JUST DON’T CARE! A noted financial expert appeared on CNBC and said we’re in a “deep recession,” maybe even a depression, that the dollar is going to collapse, that there will be a new “world currency” and a “new world order” and nobody, not even the anchor questioning him, reacted. I don’t think they don’t care, they just don’t pay attention! That’s how things like this get by without the outrage it deserves.

DEMOCRATS STILL BLAMING GOP: Democrats CREATED the “economic meltdown” by passing a law REQUIRING lenders to loan money to people they KNEW could not, WOULD not pay it back (a recipe for disaster) along with a “safety valve” (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, to buy up those bad loans) upon which they could “pull the plug” at any time to help them win an election (which they did just before the 2008 presidential election). Anybody with any intelligence at all knows this, but they’re STILL trying to blame it on the Republicans for “deregulating” things.

“IT’S WHAT THEY DO! That’s the feeble excuse their publicist gave for the couple who scammed their way into Obama’s big party. Does that make it right? I don’t think so. But what they did exposed a weakness in White House security that may get Obama killed. I wouldn’t necessarily want to see him killed, especially with Joe “waiting in the wings.” We don’t need another Lyndon Johnson..
